■Rack 5:
Here, the SD signal of channel 8 is sent to TRACK
5 via GROUP buss 5 in :he same manner as TRACK 1.
Effect Processing
Usually, effect processing is done during a mix-down and-or
a ping-pong recording and not at this stage, however, we
wil illustrate one example where a oompressor/limiier is
processed onto the ELECTRIC BASS (EB) signal and a
re/eroeration onto the TCMS (*3).
COMPRESSOn/LIMlTCR
-CD
Connect a compressor/limiter to the INSEFT jack (37) cf
charnel 9 (refer to INSERT )gck tor procecures). An tB
signal, Deing modilied by tne compressor/limiter, will now
be recorded to TRACK 1.
REVERBERATOR-TOMS (x
Several methods are possible but here we will use the
EFFECT SEND 1 (5).
Conrect the EFFECT SEND 1 jack (50) with the input cf
the reverberator and the output o' the reverberator with the
EFFECT RTN 1 jack (40)
1. Set the SEND 1 MASTER LEVEL knob (21) to 0 and adjust
the amounts of the signals to be sere tc the reverberator
by using the respective EFFECT SEND 1 of channels
2-4.
2. Send the outout of tie reverberator to GROUP busses
3 aid 4 (RTN 1 ASSIGN SWITCHES (28)-3*4. RTN 1
PAN (28)—center. RTN 1 GAIN (28)-0)
Now the reverberated signals, as wel as the original sig¬
ner; of the TOMS will be recorded to TRACKS 3 and 4.
MONITORING
Through the use of the EFFECT SEND 2 (7), Ihe Model 612
is capable of processing an ehec on the monitor signal of
an irooming output from a recorder.
This feature alows for a more flexible monitoring environment
wnere one can dmulato the desired total offect without affect¬
ing v/ith the signals being seni to the recorder.
In the example, we will use a reverberator to process the
II. OVER-DUBBING
What does 'over-dubbing
"
mean?
O/er-dubbing is the process ol recording a new sound
source to a new sound track while simultaneously playing
back the rest oi the tracks wth the recording head (syn¬
chronous play-back).
Look at Tigurc
2.
This configuiation is intended so that the
sound signal from Ihe ELECtRlC GUITAR (EG) wifi be "ovor
dubbec" to TRACK 6. TRACKS 1 -5 will be monitored dur¬
ing their synchronous play-tack Also, a delay effect will be
processed on the EG signal and also sent to TRACK 6
The procedures fer sending ihe EG signal to TRACK 6.
montoring the recorder outputs for TRACKS 1 -6 and
piccessng a reverberation on the monitor signal are all the
same as in the BASIC TRACK RECORDING section.
monitor signal. The monitoring netnods for the outputs to
TRACKS I -5 sv.ll be the same es BASIC SIGNAL Flow or
pago 11.
Sending the Signal to the Reverberator
Firsl select AUX with the SEND 2 SELECTOR (6) for channels
1-5. This has the purpose o' sencing the incoming TAPE
sgrals (AUX SELECTOR (8|—TAPE) to the EFFECT SEND
2
buss Alter adjusting the respective AUX Gain (9) and EF¬
FECT SEND 2 LEVEL knobs (7), tbs signals wll be sent lo
the SEND 2 busa and. alter a f
nd
adjustment with tho SEND
2 MASTER LEVEL knob (22). routed to tne reverberator.
Monitoring the Processed Signal
We wil equally route the reverberator output from ihe EF¬
FECT RTN 2 jack (41) tc GROUP busses 7 and 8 by using
the EFFECT RTN 2 SECTION (29) (RTN ASSIGN SWITCHES
(29)-*7-8. RTN PAN (29)-cente-. FTN GAIN (29>-0). The
lev^is ol the signals can new be adjusted with the MASTER
TADERS for
71
1 and 0/R (17) Then, by
3electng
L R with
the MONITOR SELECTOR (25). it is now possible to monito-
the processed TRACKS 1 -5 with Ihe use of neadphones
or speakers connected with the MONITOR OUT jack (47i
andfor PHONES jack (34). (Selecting AUX will enable moni¬
tor of the original signal.)
Note:
For this example, do net select GROUP busses olhe*
nan 7- 6 with the RTN 2 ASSIGN SWITCHES since this wil
create an infinite loop This will result in the processed signet
to be ecorded to TRACKS 1 -5 and could cause howling
(feedback).
For example, if the channel 5 signal is Peng sent to the
EFFECT SEND 2 buss and 5-6 is selected at the RTN 2
ASSIGN SWITCHES (29). the following Icop wil be created.
ch.5 EFFECT SEND 2-Reverberator-GROUP buss 5-
TRACK 5-Ch,5 AUX GAIN
In erder to prevent creating loeps as above, it is also possible
to connect the reverberator output to the AUX BUSS IN jack
(44) and monitoring it by select ng AUX of the MONITOR
SELECTOR (25). However, m this case, it will no! be possible
to adjust Ihe master level of the processed signal.
For processing the delay effect, the EG signal will oe sent to
tie processor via the DIRECT OUT jack (39) and 'he output
Iron the processor will be sent to the INPUT jack (36) cf
channel 12 and routed to GROUP txiss 6 along with the
original sound signal (ch.12 INPUT SELECTOR (3)- NPUT,
ASSIGN SWITCHES (11)-5 €, PAN (I2)-EVEN). In doing
so. the volume ba'oncoc ol tho EG signal ard is prococsod
signal can oo adjusted individually by usinc the INPUT
FADFRS (15) o'" channels 10 and 12 respectively. Individual
equalizing is also possible
Note: The EFFECT SEND 2 knobs (7j ler channels 10 and
12 should be set to - a. in order to avod the signals entering
Ihe EFFECT SEND 2 buss and distorting the reverberation
balances while monitoring
